Steps to reproduce

  5. Launch Edge (also tested with Firefox, Windows Terminal Preview)
  6. Shift-drag the app to a zone
  7. Close the app
  8. Switch virtual desktops
  9. Open the app

✔️ Expected Behavior

The app should open in the original virtual desktop where it was last assigned to a zone
